That depends on whether you're for or against the Oxford comma -- perhaps the most hotly contested punctuation mark of all time. When do we use one? Can it really be optional, or is there a universal rule? TED-Ed explores both sides of this comma conundrum.Lesson by TED-Ed, animation by Zedem Media. Learn more about your ad choices.

    What actually triggered the Irish Potato Famine - Stephanie Honchell Smith

    Dig into what caused the Irish potato famine, and explore how the UK government’s response turned the crisis into a catastrophe.--For over 200 years, potatoes thrived in Ireland; roughly half the country’s residents lived almost entirely on potatoes. But when harvesting began in 1845, farmers found their potatoes blackened and shriveled. While this failed harvest created a crisis, the government’s response turned it into a national catastrophe. Stephanie Honchell Smith digs into Ireland's Great Famine.

    The method that can "prove" almost anything - James A. Smith

    Explore the data analysis method known as p-hacking, where data is misrepresented as statistically significant.Uploaded 05-08-21--In 2011, a group of researchers conducted a study designed to find an impossible result. Their study involved real people, truthfully reported data, and commonplace statistical analyses. So how did they do it? The answer lies in a statistical method scientists often use to try to figure out whether their results mean something, or if they’re random noise. James A. Smith explores p-hacking.Lesson by James A.

But one of his greatest contributions to the field actually came in the form of an odd philosophical footnote in a 1935 paper he co-wrote -- which ended up being wrong.
